Happy Birthday to us … late is much better than never!  The boys were finally close enough to recovery to make so we could celebrate my birthday and Adam’s.  My mom, being a true mom and grandma, celebrated us both.  The main course was for me with gorgeous pink floral napkins and bleeding hearts and my choice for the menu. 
<\/a>
Chicken fajita spuds, spinach strawberry salad, crescent rolls (baked fresh, thanks to Beth the amazing bread maker), and corn.  At dessert time she switched gears, pulled out red, boyish dessert plates and surprised Adam with a fire truck cake. 
  <\/a>
When I was growing up I was sure my mom could make anything.  We couldn’t afford roller skates for me when they became the rage at school and I was convinced she could glue wheels to a plywood platform and attach it to a shoe so I could skate.  She didn’t manage that one; but Adam did get an “oxygen tank” thanks to her ingenuity.
<\/a>
The hunting obsession has finally, finally, finally (thank you, God) given way to another. 
<\/a>
He is now a firefighter.  And a very brave one.  He wants to know all about them.  What they do.  What else they do.  What else they do.  At one point I saw him “restraining some imaginary person” so I asked if they were trying to get back into the house that was burning.  “No, they’re trying to save the person who is drowning.”  I said I hope he can swim well if he’s saving people from drowing.  “Oh,” he said, “I don’t need to.  See the person just swims over to me, puts their arms up, then I pull them out with my hook.”   Oh.
